Nervous..no, anxious about first long trip

I guess I'm normal after all! I love planning my camping trips but when the time comes to hook up and go, I don't want to leave home. Once on the road I start to relax and when I reach my destination, I'm fine. Now that I'm retired and I go to Florida for a few months in the winter, the same thing happens. I had a hard time shutting the house down to go and thought about just hibernating in for the winter and not telling anyone I hadn't left. Once I was in our place in Florida, I didn't want to leave there and didn't think much about my house up north. I guess it's human nature and the nesting instinct. Either way, once I'm home that feeling like I never left hits and all is well. Don't overdo the lists either! If someone at home has a key, they can check on anything that comes to mind. I'm also trying not to take so much with me - there are Walmarts everywhere! Remember that you're lucky to be able to enjoy a trip like you have planned, and make the most of it.
